			<title>Balanced major currencies (ISIN: DE000LBB1FX0) from Landesbank Berlin rose 6.5% in Q1-2011. All decisions are based on ‘CHAMELEON FX CONTROL’</title>
			<link>http://www.intalus.com/index.php?id=52&#38;tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=37&#38;cHash=76152e8e4f</link>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[All three months of the first quarter showed a profit. January was most profitable, when 2011 started with new identified trends. February was almost steady, while March generated a new all-time-high. This all during a period dominated by tragic world events.
A closer look at the currency pairs show, that Euro/British Pound and British Pound/Yen were the best performers.&nbsp; The British Pound did not do very well in either case. Currency pairs; British Pound/US Dollar and British Pound/Swiss Franc, make the list for losses in the first quarter; but they were the only two out of ten currency pairs. So at the end of Q1 the Landesbank Berlin was more than happy at how Chameleon FX Control made inroads into 2011.

			<title>“Handelsblatt” forecasts for DAX, Euro-Dollar and the current bond yield since 1992</title>
			<link>http://www.intalus.com/index.php?id=52&#38;tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=36&#38;cHash=3bf6898822</link>
			<description>Where will the DAX, Euro-Dollar and the current bond yield be at the end of the year? The newspaper...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[If you analyze the forecasts precisely, you will notice that with few exceptions, the forecast for the last 12 months has simply been extrapolated from prior data. For example, if the DAX increases over the previous year, the forecast assumes it will increase at the same rate in the future as well. This is illustrated in the chart above. When the DAX (blue line) changes its trend direction, the forecast (orange line) changes similarly for the following year. In other words: The forecast mirrors reality with a one year delay. This brings to mind the famous quote by Winston Churchill:&nbsp; “It's difficult to make predictions, especially about the future.”
If you prefer to make your investment decisions based on proved trading strategies instead of based on extrapolations, please have a look at the performance of Chameleon strategies and visit http://chameleon.intalus.com.

			<title>Herrick Payoff Index measures the amount of money flowing into or out of a futures contract.</title>
			<link>http://www.intalus.com/index.php?id=52&#38;tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=34&#38;cHash=d9d5752916</link>
			<description>John Herrick’s technical indicator tracks volume, price and open interest into an aggregate value...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Also with a rising open interest signalling a bullish signal in an uptrend and a bearish signal in a downtrend. The opposite is also true, a falling open interest is a bearish signal in an uptrend and a bullish signal in a downtrend. A flat open interest is neutral. We can apply these principles to the HPI: when it breaks itts longer-term trend line, it gives a leading signal, indicating that a price trend is likely to be broken through. When HPI crosses its centre line, the price trend is confirmed. In effect the HPI is using volume, open interest, and price to signal bullish and bearish divergences in the price of a future or options contract. The use of open interest in the calculation of the HPI means the indicator can only be used with futures and options.
To use the indicator to its potential we can see that when prices reach a new low but the HPI records a higher volume than a previous decline, a buy signal is issued (this is bullish divergence). When the HPI turns up from this second bottom, the trader has an opportunity to place a stop below the latest low price. The corresponding bearish divergence occurs when prices hit a new high, but the HPI reaches a lower top. The short-sell signal occurs when the HPI turns down, so the trader would use a stop above the latest high. The Herrick Payoff Index is an excellent indicator of the market's overall bullishness or bearishness. In short when the HPI is above its centre line, bulls are in control. When the HPI lies below the centre, a trader exists in a market of bears.
Download the code for your Tradesignal software to create your own Herrick Payoff Index. Remember that although this is designed to show a forest chart on a separate sub chart. You can change the method of display and also where it should be displayed. As the chart example shows I display the HPI on the Open Interest itself rather than as a separate sub chart.

			<title>How to create a single chart or your own index based on a basket of equities.</title>
			<link>http://www.intalus.com/index.php?id=52&#38;tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=25&#38;cHash=9b0bc1ea57</link>
			<description>What are you doing if you want to display a chart containing data from BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen?...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Let us assume you want to trade a basket of German automobile stocks. Your basket would consist of BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen. To chart the performance of this basket create a custom symbol. In Tradesignal select ‚New Symbol --&gt; A composite symbol calculated from formula‛ as shown on the picture and enter the following code:

<i>Name:</i><br />Automobile Basket
<i>Formula:</i><br />1 &nbsp; &nbsp;Meta: outputlotsize(1);<br />2<br />3&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Variables: mybasket;<br />4<br />5 &nbsp; &nbsp;mybasket= c of '/BMWG' + c of '/DAIGn.DE' + c of '/VOWG_p.DE'<br />6<br />7 &nbsp; &nbsp;drawline ( mybasket );
(See <link http://flic.kr/p/8qRnwG>http://flic.kr/p/8qRnwG</link> for the original Tradesignal wizard)
Use whatever symbol codes your provider uses; stick to the Equilla language rules. The Meta command on the first line defines the global settings for this custom instrument. In this case I set the lot size to 1, as you will earn 1€ when the composite symbol rises by one. This functionality is mainly used by futures traders to adjust for the right ‘big point value’ of the future.
Then you have to define a variable as a placeholder for your calculations. You can use all kinds of Equilla functions when calculating your new custom instrument, so you are not fixed to a simple addition of just three stocks like I did it in this example.
The last step is to draw the chart. Here you can use the drawline, drawbar or drawcandlestick command. That`s it. Quite easy – right?
With this custom symbol it is an easy task to chart the relative performance of this automobile basket against the index. Use your new custom symbol and the build in relative performance indicator. So if you need to chart a stock basket, an energy mix or even the performance of your portfolio, use the custom symbol functionality and save a lot of work.
Take care, take profit,<br />Philipp Kahler

BTW: Still no Tradesignal user? Try it either with data from Bloomberg, Morningstar, Thomson Reuters or Trayport.
